English Wasp Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 So we won't be getting Linfield v Celtic u20s then... It would have been the other way around, even if the Celtic kids had won, as Linfield will be drawn away in the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Conaghs Quay Nomads versus Hamilton Academical U20s would be quite something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were actually declared as 389 , 318 and 168. There were only 110 at Dundee "B" which may be a new record low in the competitions 25-odd year history. Still no crowds in SPFL website for Partick "B" (although this was announced by the club as 190), Kilmarnock "B" or Ross County "B" yesterday... it wouldn't hugely surprise if these are never released given they seem likely to be poor, but maybe they will come along belatedly. This means the average, excluding Championship clubs at home as they didn't play this stage last season, has gone under 300 and in doing so dropped 11% from 333 last season to 298.

Fair to say, the authorities have made a diddy cup into a paper cup due to them pandering to the big league, hopefully the diddy clubs field their 20's just to make sure it dies a death.

The SPFL site calls them Sligo Wanderers. I thought it was Rovers but didnt know for sure it wasnt a different club or name change. I knew about the Linfield/Crusaders thing but didnt see the need to detail it as the point was about which clubs were in the draw. The same applied last season meaning we got Linfield at Palmerston.

Its good to be accommodating to clubs isn't it? Other recent examples would be: Hearts playing away end of last season / beginning of this season West Ham playing away start of this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
